lenghts for 30 MKI spinnaker
Ahoy everyone,I would like to get the spinnaker on our 30 MKI back to work - I 
always had it somehow gerryrigged, and since I often singlehand or doublehand 
the boat, I consider getting a snuffer so that I could use the spi with short 
crew as well. BUT: Our uphaul and downhaul lines went AWOL, and I'd like to 
replace them. Would you have any indication what lenghts of line I need to run 
it back to the cockpit? I also am curious to see if here are other C&C 30 
sailors around New York or in the Western Long Island Sound to catch up with 
and exchange ideas or just meet up with once in a while.And since I am new to 
the list, I would like to introduce our boat and me. A friend and I are sailing 
"Messing About", a 1980 C&C 30 MKI, out of Larchmnont, NY. I take care of the 
boat for about seven years, when she was Kelly green and named Mistral IV, but 
our captain decided at 95 yo that slowly it might be enough, so he passed the 
helm on to us "chicks". So it's time for some smaller updates. I love the 
stiffness and quick reaction of this boat. The boat is in good condition, I'd 
say, she has a rebuilt 2QM15 since this season, a new mast step, complete new 
rudder and steering system, new head, a few but updated electronics, and seems 
overall pretty healthy. No blisters, no nothing, let alone some small cracks in 
the gelcoat on deck, but it wouldn't be a boat if there weren't some projects 
to do, right? I lerned: 10 boat projects minus 1 boat project equals 11 boat 
projects. So this spring I did a roll and tip-job on the topsides, and leaving 
the quite recognizable kelly green behind us, her new colors are seattle grey 
with seagrass green as contrary color. (Here are some pics:

 We have a range of sails:- 143% genny, UK, good for the summer doldrums on the 
LIS- 100% battened jib - a real nice sail in any weather- a veritable mylar 
decksweeper which we hardly ever use, since we don't race her at this time (she 
was once a regular winner up in Westport, CT, formerly known as as "Irish 
Wake")- mainsail, heavy quality, fully battened- mainsail, lighter built for 
racing (North Sails), half battened - to wich we just added three reefing 
points.I hope to see you out on the water!  cheersJanko Puls --Point of View
